Long Distance

I saw the premier show of Long Distance in NY. I am not an enormous fan of suspense/thriller movies, however I found this one to be spot on. The ending took me entirely by surprise. I would rank the twist in the end to one of my all time favorites "The Usual Suspects". This is a movie you have to see again to determine what you missed the first time around. I will be looking for this movie to come to Boston so I can see it again. The length of the movie seemed about right, I didn't find myself looking at my watch at any point during the show. I found it interesting that the pool was not included in the original script and in the end it fit in so well with the story line. Great picture!

very original suspense film about a lonely young girl(Monica keena)who dials a wrong number by one digit and gets in touch with a serial killer at large.its one of those movies you really have to pay attention to.Monica keena who i know from Freddy vs Jason is a very good under rated actress.who should get recognized for her role in this independent but very good movie.i recently seen this on the sundance channel expecting a slasher movie,but was very surprised.and there's a surprise twist ending thats very Hitchcock like.this movie will give new meaning to the feature on your phone called caller id.i have to commend the sundance channel for picking fine movies like this,i would'nt call this so much a slasher movie,but a suspense in a class with Alfred Hitchcock's dial m for murder and psycho.I'm hoping to see more of Monica keena in more movies.although Freddy vs Jason does'nt look too good on her resume but remember thats how brad Pitt(cutting class)and johnny depp(nightmare on elm street)started.i loved long distance its a very good movie,and very original.kudos to Monica keena,she rocks.Hollywood take note move over Reese Witherspoon.

When Nicole (Monica Keena, best known for being in early seasons of HBO's "Entourage") dials a wrong number inadvertently and leaves a message. A killer calls her back using Caller I.D and sets in motion a series of events that seem to be culminating in the psycho going after her. Something even the detectives whom she convinced to help her may be powerless to stop.

Monica seems to be doing the best with what she's been given, but the plot is just too clichéd for me to actually care for the movie that much. It didn't help that the character of Nicole was so insanely stupid that I couldn't care less if she lived or died. Add to this the fact that the movie,while only an hour and a half, seemed to drag on & a twist ending that adds insult to injury. All in all moderately well-acted but tedious movie with an awful ending.

My Grade: D+

I recently saw the movie "Long Distance" and I agree with the other person (Mr. Boston), the plot was set up in excellence. I normally read between the lines but this movie took me by total surprise again like "Usual Suspect" or any other movie that is a suspense thriller would have an ending predictable this was brilliantly written. You just can't expect a part 2 because it's just some movies that are self explanatory and this is one of those movies. At the end you really thought who the killer was would be revealed. By the way can someone tell me on the soundtrack who song the song "long distance" it was a woman but I couldn't quite make out the name? gloria723@sbcglobal.net....

The film sets up nicely with a misdialed phone call to a serial killer in progress. I like the idea because it is fresher than the "I know you are alone" call. However, in hind sight, this leads to the most probable ending (which the movie has) because otherwise the motive for the serial killer's pursuit could become far fetched and unlikely.

The acting was okay. The driving force of the film is the desire to find the identity of the serial killer and the motive.

There are definitely many areas for improvement including script, set, special effects and ambiance. There was a somewhat too light tone of acting; maybe if the script demanded it, it would not have seemed noticeable.
